With the support of these pillars of the northeast, Zhang Xueyuan's work became much easier.
Most of the generals supported Zhang Xueyuan, except for Li Jinglin and the others.
Zhang Xueyuan roughly knew about this. The 1st Division Commander Li Jinglin, the 2nd Division Zhang Zongchang, the 12th Division Pei Chunsheng, and the 16th Division Yu Shencheng. The four divisions had about 60,000 troops.
"For this plan, we will send 400,000 troops, cut 150,000 troops, and retain 250,000 troops.”Zhang Xueyuan said in a deep voice.
At this moment, a cold voice sounded in Zhang Xueyuan's mind.
[Ding-dong. Congratulations to the host for activating the system mission. As an outstanding commander, you don't need to have too many soldiers under you. You need to build a pure elite army and activate the mission of reducing the number of troops and eliminating the old, weak, sick, and disabled.] Upon completion of the mission, he would be rewarded with an elite soldier training manual, 1,000 system points, a set of chemical technology, the Emperor's Man-Controlling Technique, a special combat training manual, and an intelligence personnel training manual.”
Zhang Xueyuan had a look of disbelief on his face. The system mission this time was too powerful!
One elite soldier training manual, 1,000 system points, one set of chemical engineering techniques, the Emperor's Man-Controlling Technique, special combat training manual, and one intelligence personnel training manual. All of these were what he needed now, especially this intelligence personnel training manual. It was what Zhang Xueyuan urgently needed.
However, Zhang Xueyuan's current expression did not attract the attention of the people around him.
Everyone was thinking about what Zhang Xueyuan had said just now.
"Commander-in-chief, isn't this a little too hasty? I'm afraid the brothers below won't be convinced if we cut one-third of the personnel at once!”
At this time, Li Jinglin said at an inappropriate time.
This made everyone's eyes fall on Li Jinglin. Marshal Zhang's face was filled with a trace of displeasure.
Zhang Xueyuan's expression did not change at all. His eyes fell on Li Jinglin.
"Then I wonder what Division Commander Li thinks we should do about this matter?”Zhang Xueyuan said playfully.
Li Jinglin thought that Zhang Xueyuan was backing down, so he straightened his tone."Commander-in-chief, although the old marshal is here, I still have to say it. This method of reducing the army would probably cause changes in the army. The commander-in-chief had just taken office and did not know much about the matters below. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers were all for this pay. Now that he had cut off the thoughts of his brothers, there would be changes sooner or later!”
"Li Jinglin, what do you mean? Xueyuan was also the commander of an army. He had won a battle before, so how could he not understand what was going on below? Besides, are you threatening the commander-in-chief?”Zhang Zuoxiang said reluctantly.
"Uncle, it's fine. Commander Li, as the commander of the 1st Division, you can't even do a soldier's job well, right? If that's the case." Zhang Xueyuan hesitated for two seconds before saying loudly,"Then what use do I have for you? If they couldn't do this job well, the 1st Division would be completely disbanded.”
Seeing this, the second division's Zhang Zongchang stepped forward to mediate,""Commander-in-chief, Jing Lin didn't mean it that way. Please calm down. Jing Lin, since it's the commander-in-chief's order, this must have been carefully thought out. So, we'll just carry it out.”
Li Jinglin sat in his seat and remained silent.
After the Northeast Military Conference ended, Zhang Xueyuan, Old Marshal Zhang, Zhang Xiaoliuzi, Zhang Zuoxiang, Tang Yulin, and Wu Junsheng came to the marshal's office.
"Xueyuan, I'll leave this place to you. You must do a good job. If you still can't do it well, I'll whip you in my sophomore year.”Old Marshal Zhang exhorted. Although his tone was a little strict, one could still understand the concern he revealed.
This matter was not that simple. Since he was the marshal, he had to take responsibility. Otherwise, he would be assassinated.
"Yuting, don't worry. I, Tang Yulin, believe in my eldest nephew.”Tang Yulin said to Old Marshal Zhang.
"That's right, Yuting. Don't you still have us old generals? Right? Haha." Wu Junsheng's gaze landed on Zhang Xueyuan."I've seen this kid grow up since he was young. His personality has gradually become stable and he can control the power of our northeast.”
"That's right, Yuting. Although you've stepped down from the post of commander-in-chief of the Northeast Feng Army, why don't you just hang on as a deputy commander-in-chief? It's the same for Liu Zi.”Zhang Zuoxiang joked.
Old Marshal Zhang thought about it briefly and agreed,""Alright, then I'll be the deputy commander-in-chief of the Feng army. Damn it, I really didn't expect that I would actually be working under this kid. Also, Liu Zi, it was my decision not to tell you about this matter in advance. However, Dad still thinks highly of you two brothers.”
"Dad, it's fine. I think this is quite good. Xueyuan has the ability to command more than me. Besides, isn't the northeast still surnamed Zhang?”Zhang Xiaoliu teased.
Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.
After a moment, Old Marshal Zhang's gaze landed on Zhang Xueyuan."Xueyuan, do you have any thoughts on the reorganization of the troops this time?”
Everyone's gaze landed on Zhang Xueyuan. They understood Zhang Xueyuan's personality. He would never do anything unprepared.
"Dad, this is what I think. The Feng Army was divided into four divisions, similar to the Shenwu Army. Each division would have three infantry divisions, one artillery division, one cavalry division, one armored division, one aviation division, and the General Office, Intelligence Office, Special Combat Regiment, and Teaching Regiment. There would be a total of 62,500 people. Fifteen reserve divisions would be formed, and each reserve division would have a guard team of 300 people. They would be distributed with corresponding weapons.”Zhang Xueyuan said casually.
Everyone fell silent when they heard this. It had to be said that such a Feng army would be very good in terms of unified deployment and combat strength in the future.
"Alright, I support you." Marshal Zhang said.
After a moment, everyone echoed.
"But what's the specific plan for the abolition?”Zhang Zuoxiang looked a little curious.
"An overall analysis of each division's combat strength, appearance, and discipline. Dismiss the soldiers with low combat strength and those over the age of 40, strengthen the training of the soldiers in the establishment, and change their weapons and equipment. However, this was not the right time. He would let these commanders prepare the soldiers mentally first. In another month's time, the Divine Martial Army would be basically complete. In the spring and April after the new year, a large-scale reduction of soldiers was carried out.”
No one had expected Zhang Xueyuan to have considered everything clearly. This shocked them.
Now, they finally knew why the old marshal had let Zhang Xueyuan take over the position of Northeast Commander-in-Chief.
